“IS THIS FOR ME?”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If you can ride 80–100km comfortably, you can absolutely build up to 200km by May.
• Elevation: Only 93 meters total – no mountains, just gentle rolling terrain
• Time limit: 13.5 hours
• Navigation: GPX file provided – no getting lost
You don’t need to be fast. You need to be determined.
